  • Family-run Edale site at the start of the Pennine Way
  • A 20-minute drive from Ladybower Reservoir; 25 minutes from Buxton
  • Half a mile from a café, pub, railway station and visitor centre
Whether you're looking to get a toehold on craggy rock faces or fancy a taste of slow-paced village life, you can't go far wrong with a stay at this fab Peak District park. Head to Newfold Farm Campsite for hols full of hikes, cycles and hilly explores – the start of the long-distance Pennine Way is a few steps from the site entrance, with many other top rural spots a short drive away. Newbies seeking tips on what to get up to in the local area will be in good hands here – this family-run site is owned and operated by born-and-bred Edale folk who are more than happy to share their wisdom. The community-minded village is also home to a volunteer-run visitor centre, an independent café, a pizzeria and a lovely local pub. A railway station is less than half a mile away from base, so leaving the car at home is definitely an option for those heading here. Not that driving is an unpleasant business in this part of the world – on the road you'll pass by oodles of historic villages, valley views and grand country houses, including spectacular Chatsworth House… Dogs are welcome to join you at Newfold Farm Campsite; barbecues and bonfires are also allowed.

Grouse non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The site was well maintained, the facilities excellent and the little touches made all the difference.
The staff were warm and welcoming and we are looking forward to returning.

The site is a perfect base for exploring Edale and the Kinder Scout area with some excellent hikes right on your doorstep.

Julia P.

Grouse non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Facilities and position were excellent. Some of the best wash/toilet/shower facilities I have found at a campsite. Also had plug sockets for charging. Cafe was fab. Pizzas were great, staff friendly. Nr walks and train station and pubs on the door step. Scenery stunning. Local pub also did gluten free beer and gluten free pizza was also available so that is always an excellent thing for celiacs. Quietened down fairly quickly at night and noise levels were not even slightly an issue for sleeping.

Disliked Was unaware that there was no cars on camping field, if I'd have known I'd have bought a trolley to carry the tent etc across the grass further to find a pitch that was a little more level. Cars off the grass isn't a bad thing necessarily because it makes the surroundings look nicer and safer for kids But it's just a matter of carrying everything.

Would definitely return for walking in Peak District. Nice campsite

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Location is perfect for walks. Lovely cafe, main toilet/shower block is really nice. Friendly greeting. Pitches are nice - pretty level with electric hook up.
Lovely shop just around the corner. Walking distance to pubs

Disliked The main shower/toilet block whilst lovely and modern is not enough - they could do with at least another one just as big.

We would return! Good amenities and walks available.

Sparrowhawk non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Amenities onsite were great. Cafe, themed evening food, and a brand new set of washrooms. However, the gem was the old washrooms! Very few people were using them, but they were perfectly serviceable, so it was much more pleasant to use those facilities!

Staff were hardworking, but once you spoke to them they were friendly and helpful.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Location and views are stunning . Facilities are above average if a little small for the size of site . Nice cafe on site, small handy shop and excellent pub by the site entrance

Disliked A bit busy at weekends and school holidays , puts pressure on facilities at peak times , but it’s Edale , a very popular area , worth suffering the crowd for .

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site is in a prime location. We were greeted at reception and found them to be really helpful. It has well kept pitches, clean and tidy. There are toilet facilities on site. It has a cafe on site too where the food is homemade and delicious. There are two pubs within a short walking distance. The scenery and views are beautiful. Plenty of walks for novice and experienced walkers.

Local attractions

Draw a straight line from this well-placed site and you're bound to come across something that tickles your fancy. Heading west? Stop off for strolls at Ladybower Reservoir (25 minutes' drive). South? Buxton's fancy shops and theatres are on hand, as are the gorgeous grounds of Chatsworth House (40 minutes). Up for some underground explores? This site is a breezy 15-minute drive from Castleton, a village deep in the White Peak where there are caves and caverns aplenty. Bobbing up and down along underground watercourses is on the cards at Speedwell Cavern, where subterranean boat trips are up for grabs. The nearby Blue John Cavern, meanwhile, also has much to marvel at, including Waterfall Cavern and its shimmering multi-coloured dome… When you emerge bleary-eyed back into broad daylight, you’ll probably be struck by the shadow of mighty Mam Tor (10 minutes from base). Hike up this handsome hill for a three-mile circular trail that'll stretch your legs and open your eyes to some exceptional vistas – on sunny days you'll also likely have the bonus sight of daredevil paragliders circling and swooping overhead.
